### New posts watched live, each password checked working, alert to you in seconds, years of past leaks searchable in one place 🔔

Pushed secrets get used in minutes — this loop watches, proves, and pings ahead of that.

**GET:** each exposed key seen fast, proved live, pinged to you.  
**NEED:** one watcher running on your code, one alarm wired to your chat.  
**REFILL:** same loop covers each new push, each new day.
